Invasive ductal carcinoma with lymph vascular invasion
Breast Cancer | Last Active: 3 hours ago | Replies (14)Comment receiving replies
I was diagnosed with the same in June. I'm 76. ER+ and started taking AI. Had surgery in Sept. 2 nodes were pos. They got clear margins on both lumps and nodes. Recommended radiation,but I chose to forgo it and just take Anastrozole. The choice not to radiate is a personal one for each of us. Time will tell if it comes back, but I am comfortable with it.

Lymphovascular invasion is not the same as positive nodes, just to be clear. Lymphovascular invasion is still contained in the breast.
I was able to avoid radiation by having a double mastectomy. I was told one out of five radiologists would have recommended radiation. I am ten years out knock on wood.
